Kylo Ren is also not fully trained by the dark side either. He's a troubled teenager looking for an answer who has been manipulated by the dark side (analogy for Muslim extremism anyone?). If he had the self control then there wouldn't be a question of whether Leia and Hans Solo could save him.
Yeah, but it just wasn't believable that Kylo Ren was a total badass for the entire movie until he gets into a lightsaber fight with a woman that has just discovered she even has Force powers. He was able to break Poe's will with the force, but then he struggles in a lightsaber fight against a stormtrooper and a noob? I'm with Anomalocaris on this one. It just wasn't consistent and left me with a bad taste in my mouth.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
